Summary
I am a Surgical Technologist and Surgical First Assistant with 26 plus years of scrub experience looking to make use of the skills that I have acquired in a new work environment. I am looking for my first job opportunity in my new field of work, Medical Coding and Billing. I feel as though I have a leg up in that I have worked in surgery for over 20 years and have a deep rooted understanding of not only the procedures but also a firm grasp of all of the physical sciences involved in healthcare as well as experience in dealing directly with physicians. I am very detail oriented, love to learn, take pride in being able to get along with anyone and work very well under stress and adversity. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
